Support for batch editing

[danielrosehill]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

This would actually be extremely useful.
Say you have 10 items that you've assigned to box A and you want to "move" them into box B in the system .. a bulk editing functionality would come in very handy.

What is the solution you are proposing?

Batch editing feature. Select assts by a click interface which would persist through searches. Then have the ability to perform batch actions. Such as changing parent location.

What alternatives have you considered?

You can do this 1 by 1 but it takes time.

Closest I've managed is an export, edit, import workflow, but #906 makes this less feasible.

Could you describe your workflow? I have a huge amount of items because we are on the move.
Is it possible to sponsor this feature?

I literally just export to CSV, open it in an editor on my desktop, make changes in whatever way I need, then export as csv from the spreadsheet and import this again. As long as all items have an Import ID, you will not get duplicates.
